To the Editor OF the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
The New Haven Baptist churches few
years ago bought and paid for the West
Chapel street M E. church for their colored
Baptist friends, which was noble and gener-
Gus deed, since which the Congregational
churches have provided nice lot on Dixwell
avenue on which fine church has been
built and mostly paid for their Congrega-
tionaI colored people, which was equally
noble and generous. The Haven Memorial
church in Sperry street is now part of the
New York East annual conference. Their
members number ffty-nine with five on pro-
bation and they report debt on their church
Of fifteen hundred dollars Isl, 500
which they are unable to pay to
carry and by which their usefulness and
happiness is greatly defeated. Would it not
he a noble and generous Christian deed for
the Methodist churches in New Haven to lift
this grevious burden from their brother in
hlackq Now if the First M. E. church will
assume and pay five hundred dollars. $500
cf the debt on the Haven Memorial church
and Trinity NJ. e. church five hundred dol
lars $500. the writer of this article will pay
ava hundred dollars $500 and the good
work q accomplished, and no doubt would
ha gratefully appreciated by those for whom
~ was done "He that hath pity upon the poor
iaudeth unto the Lord" who never fails to
pay his debts. FROM a FRIEND.

with pain" is the sad cry of many victim of
rheumatism or neuralgia, and frequently
other diseases, such as kidney and liver COM
plants, are directly traceable to rheumatism
or neuralgia. These diseases, for some I'M
explainable reason, are rapidly increasing,
and in many instances are the direct cause of
much sickness which so hides its real origin
as to be mistaken for other>diseases. In cur
ing rheumatism, neuralgia, sick headache,
and in many cases of kidney and liver trou-
bles, Athlophoros has wrought wonders.
Those who have used it are best qualified to
speak of its merit.
New Haven, Conn.
I had the neuralgia for three months in
my face. Went to the doctor; he gave me
aration of chloroform to put on the outside,
but it did not do any good. Could not
sleep night or day. Had suffered SO much
and so long that I was afraid it would drive
me crazy. Was told to try Athlophoros by
party it had cured of the rheumatism. At
ter taking part of a bottle the pain all left as
by magic and now am well, with not a
sign of neuralgia about me,
MAMIE DIETRICH, 16 Hudson Street.
Mrs. Harriet Strong. Westville, Conn.,,
says: sI have had the rheumatism which
settled in my knee and hip joints, SO stiff,
and pain so bad could not walk, was obliged
to move around in a chair. Several doctors
did all they could for me, but I was no bet
ter. I tried Athlophoros, taking four bot
ties, and strange as it may seem l am per-
fectly cured and am about the house every
day doing all the homework, and not par
ticle of rheumatism about me-"
Every druggist should keep Athlophoros
and Athlophoros Pills, but where they can
not be bought of the druggist the Athlophor-
os Co., 112 Wall ST., New York, will send
price whichis "a per bottle for Athlophoros

BRYTON IN "FoRGIVEN..
A Large Audience and Brilliant Su

cess.
The New Haven Opera House was thronged
in all parts last night by an audience which
had assembled to greet the popular
favorite actor Frederic Bryton. Mr.. Bryton
had appeared here within ten weeks, at
which time he SO thoroughly won the esteem
and admiration of our-theater goers by his
remarkably fine performance of "Jack Dia-
mond" in the beautiful drama Forgiven"
that anything less than the hearty reception
he received last night were impossible That
Bryton is a peculiarly gifted man in many
ways is beyond peradventure. He walks
right into the hearts of his auditors ON his
first entrance, and he remains there through
out the performance without an effort. He
charms all by his magnificent presence;
he thrills us by his marvellous earnestnesS
and force and elicits our warmest sympathies
by his manly tenderness. In "Jack Dia-
mond" Mr.. Bryton has given us a character
creation that bids fair to live as long as
Jefferson's Rip Van Wrinkle or Sothern's
Dundreary. He completely sinks his indi
viduality in the delineation of the character
and seems to live it, The exquisitely drawn
story of the play forgiven" has recently
been given in these columns that it is unne-
cessary to repeat it at this time. 1t is one of
the best dramas that have been produced in
years, Astounding in great human interest
and repIete with strong situations and
thrilling climaxes. There is plenty of
delightful humor cleverly interspersed with
the working out of the plot, and the charae-
ters are all well Drawn.
Mr.. Bryton has the support of thorough
ly efficient company who do full justice to
their respective parts. The performance in
its entirety was one of the finest dramatic
entertainments witnessed in New Haven in
years and fully merits the hearty applause
and large patronage it received. Mr.. Bry
ton was frequently called before the curtain
and at the end of the third act graciously
led on his entire company in response to the
thunders of applause that went up at the
conclusion of the act.
The performance will be repeated this af-
ternoon and evening

LYMAN BEECHER LECTU e ES.

The Collapse of Competition-Arbitr
tion-Ehe Reorganization of Labor.
The subject of the Lyman Beecher lecture
Yesterday afternoon was 'fThe Collapse of
Competition" The regulative force of the
system passing was competition in which all
competition was free and equal. In society
where there is difference in mental and
physical equipment it is idle to talk of per-
feet competition, and when competition be-
comes unequal the most mischievous effects
are experienced. The force of only supply
and demand is rich one for capitalists in
England. There child labor was brought on
by unrestricted competition of labor. The
most rapacious employers fix the price of
labor, resulting in cheapness of commodities
and in cheapness of human life and virtue.
Nothing is more irrational than an unre-
stricted struggle for gain. 1t crowds down
wages and reduces profits. Manufacturers
are forced to combine and the only thing the
wage-workers can do is also to combine.
This course is recommended by reason and
experience The question of the hour is
what combination will do. The solidarity of
labor and capital Is now incomplete and de-
pending upon arbitration.
The division of labor and increase of ma
duction great aggregation of capital; there is
a tendency to the spoliation of the wage
worker; labor is forced to combine; the right
to belong to such organizations and to refuse
to do SO are equally sacred; such combina-
lions involve the right to strike, but not the
right to use violence upon employees or
other men; strikes and lockouts are meth
DDS of coercion and should be last resort
the final issue must be not war, but arbitra-
ton; arbitration is the final term of the
wage system. The first condition to sue
cessful arbitration is the unreserved reeogni-
ton of employers of the right to combine. If
abuse of power forbids the organization of
labor much mlre should it for
bid the organization of capital. Fully
one-half of the trouble comes from the
employers refusing this concession
They must also recognize the perfect equality
of the wage workers with themselves. The
arbitration has to consider the question what
is right and fair. 1t is a question of justice
and equity. The folly, stupidity and brut-
ishness of strikes and lock-ups ought to be
condemned by every order-loving man. We
must learn how to settle differences by rea-
son. We must make the industrial duelling
as Infamous as is the other duelling in mod
ern society. Arbitration is the one practical
amend depending largely upon public senti-
ment. Down with the red flag; when natives
settle disputes by arbitration why cannot
labor and capital do likewise. Rev. Mr..
GLADDEN. will deliver the next lecture in the
course next Tuesday afternoon? The sub
ject will be "The Reorganization OF Labor"
